A factory that started with hand coiling
47 years, two generations of one family, 145 employees. Today XULONG SPRING is a full-cycle factory: coiling, heat treatment, grinding, coating, testing and packing — all in one place.
History
How the factory developed
From a collective enterprise with hand machines to a smart factory with investments of about RMB 100 million — the key milestones.
- 1979
The factory is founded
A collective spring manufacturing enterprise is established in Shannan village (Foshan): hand coiling, springs for agricultural machinery, fewer than 5,000 parts per month.
- 1990
First modernization
A new director launches three transformations: hand machines give way to the first semi-automatic coiler, team-based contracting delivers +40% productivity, and the factory moves into springs for household appliances.
- 1996
Incorporation and CNC
The enterprise is incorporated as a joint-stock company and installs its first Taiwanese CNC coiling machine — accuracy improves by an order of magnitude. The customer base expands into the electronics industry of the Pearl River Delta.
- 2005
New site and the XULONG brand
The factory moves to a new site, capacity doubles, testing equipment is purchased (load-testing machines, projector). The large-diameter and furniture spring directions are established.
- 2012
Automotive certification
One of the first private spring factories in Guangdong province to pass ISO/TS 16949. APQP and PFMEA are implemented — quality planning and failure mode analysis.
- 2017
The second generation
The founder's elder son returns with an engineering degree (RMIT, Australia) and brings the principles of smart manufacturing into production.
- 2021
40% exported
The export share exceeds 40%: shipments to North America, Australia and South-East Asia — 15 countries and regions in total.
- 2025
A new smart factory
About RMB 100 million (≈1 billion RUB) invested in a new production site: a threefold capacity increase, a target of 120 million precision springs per year — including springs for new-energy vehicles, drones and medical equipment.
